49ers rookie LB Chris Borland retires over safety issues

Borland, 24, said he notified the 49ers on Friday. He said he made his decision after consulting with family members, concussion researchers, friends and current and former teammates, and studying what is known about the relationship between football and neurodegenerative disease.
"I just honestly want to do what's best for my health," Borland told "Outside the Lines." "From what I've researched and what I've experienced, I don't think it's worth the risk."

Wow the Niners went from being a perennial contender to probably a 500 or worse team in three months.

Wow. I'm starting to think these guys just hate SF and will comeback somewhere else.

What was his salary during his playing days? Honestly I don't understand why more players aren't taking the money, playing a couple of seasons and getting out. The money it too high. You will see more of this.

As a rookie back-up LB, yes.

He was a rookie. He didn't make shite. Well--relatively speaking.

Won't be the last, but there is some odd stuff going down in SF with All-Pros and Rookie team guys retiring
